The TED story

I fell in love with TED in 2004 when an Art Center student shared 5 podcasts from the 2003-2005 TED conferences. In 2008, I introduced morning meditation at the Aspen Satellite. In 2009, I offered morning meditators a chance to balance their early morning brains and introduced Inteliigent Mobility International to the TED community. The romance continues.....
